King and Queen of Alas State have long been married, but they have not been blessed with children. Lately, the King has often daydreamed, worried about the fate of the Alas Kingdom if they have no crown prince. The Queen seeks to comfort the King. "We're trying hard, we should be patient and keep praying, Kanda." The king smiled and replied, "Really Kanda is fortunate to have a wife like Dinda." Right, we can not stop trying and praying, May God grant our prayers. "

Apparently the coconut tree is very high. Prince Amat Mude was almost desperate. Suddenly he remembered the magic ring and whispered to the ring, "Help me pick an ivory coconut." Wonderful! He easily climbed and plucked an ivory coconut. He gave thanks and rowed his boat home.

"Uncle, this is the ivory coconut that Uncle asked for, now it's time for Uncle to keep the promise." The Uncle is astonished. How could Amat Mude be able to return safely? Then realized he, Prince Amat Mude was destined to become king. God always protects the child from all his evil intentions. "Very Mude, you deserve to be king, from now on, you are the legitimate king of Alas State."

Since then, Alas State is led by Raja Amat Mude. He leads wisely, just like his father. He also did not grudge and still allow his uncle to live in the palace. But the uncle refused. He chose to go out and live as an ordinary people.

One morning, the Queen is unwell and her body is weak. King panicked. The royal physician was summoned to check on the Queen. "Good luck, Queen is pregnant," said the Doctor while shaking hands with the King. The King and Queen were very pleased to hear what the physician said. They give thanks to God. The news of Queen's pregnancy quickly spread. All the people rejoiced.

Queen gave birth to a perfect man, handsome, clean-skinned, and thick-haired. The king held a massive party to welcome his son. In addition to all races, all animals and spirits are also invited. At the party, the King announced that his son was Amat Mude.

the problem arises. Who will rule the kingdom? Prince Amat Mude is still very small. Therefore, the Queen decides to surrender the temporary throne to the King's sister. The Uncle agrees. The plan he will rule until Prince Amat Mude is quite old. But eventually the Uncle forgot himself. He wants to be king forever. He then looks for ways to get rid of Prince Amat Mude. At first the Queen and Prince's rooms were moved to the back. Then the Uncle also ignored the Queen's welfare. The kindhearted queen is not prejudiced and accepts all that treatment.

One day the Uncle gathered the soldiers and issued an order, "Take the Queen and the Prince to hunt for the forest, then leave them there." The soldiers are confused. "Is not Prince Amat Mude the crown prince of Alas State?" they asked. "Shut up, I'm King of the Country Alas, do my commands or you punish me," replied the Uncle. Eventually the Queen and Prince Amat Mude are thrown into the forest.

Prince Amat Mude is a smart and spoiled child. Despite living in a modest home in the woods, he never complained. He often helps his mother to find food or fruit to the depths of the forest.

One day, when Prince Amat Mude searched for fruits, he found a river full of fish. With a sharpened sharp twig, he catches the fish. In an instant, he managed to catch a few fish. Arriving at home, the Queen welcomed the catch with joy.

While cleaning the fish's stomach, Queen felt there was a hard object in it. Queen thinks it is fish egg. But after being observed, it turns out it is gold. Queen Seon Deok shouted, "My son ... hurry up here.See, Mother found a gold in the belly of this fish." Prince Amat Mude was surprised. Then she helped her mother open the stomachs of another fish. It turns out that every fish has a gold in its belly.

They give thanks to God. The queen then sells the gold, and the money is used to buy a decent house. He also bought blankets and new clothes for his son. Every day the Prince goes fishing and sells his gold. Their money becomes a lot. Now they have a nice house, cattle, and a wide alley. They also do not forget to help the poor.

Prince Amat Mude is now an adult. His wealth and generosity came to the Land of Alas. His uncle did not think he was alive. He thought Prince Amat Mude and his mother had been killed by a tiger. He ordered his soldiers to fetch Prince Amat Mude back to the palace.

In the palace, the Uncle said. "Very Mude, you're grown now, maybe it's time you became a king, but it's not that easy.You can be king if you can pick an ivory coconut, not an ivory coconut, but an ivory coconut from a small island in the middle of the sea. , you may return to the palace, but if it fails, this royal throne will always be mine, "continued his uncle. Inwardly, the Uncle laughed. The sea is guarded by three beasts ready to prey on anyone who passes by. "Mude can not be safe!" she thought. Prince agrees. He did want to go back to the palace for the happiness of his mother.

When Prince Amat Mude paddled, the water was churning. The boat was almost upside down. He was terrified. Then came a big fish accompanied by a crocodile and a dragon. "Hi, Young Boy! How dare you pass through our territory without permission? Who are you going to where?" asked the fish. Trembling, Prince Amat Mude replied "Na ... na ... my name is Amat Mude, I'm going to the island in the middle of the sea to pluck an ivory coconut."

"Very Mude? Are you the son of Raja Negeri Alas?" asked Crocodile and Dragon together. "B ... b ... right ... where do you know?" asked Prince Amat Mude. They laughed and said, "Your father is our friend We were invited to your birthday, I never thought you were a handsome young man."

"Calm down, we'll help you get to the island," continued the Dragon. Before parting, the Dragon gives Prince Amat Mude a magic ring that can grant all his requests.
